User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20061107 SUSE/1.1.1-0.1 SeaMonkey/1.1.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.2) Gecko/20061107 SUSE/1.1.1-0.1 SeaMonkey/1.1.1

The "spellcheck as you type" option forgets misspellings, if text formatting changed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Write the word "boguus" and hit return.  Observe it that this word is underlined as a misspelling.
2. Select "boguus" and apply a style such as a bullet list, italics, or increase the indent.
3. Magically, the word is no longer misspelled.  How handy.  Note that the context menu no longer works either -- Seamonkey thinks this word is correctly spelled.


Expected Results:  
The word is still misspelled, so the red underline should still be present.


Similarly, cut & paste "boguus " many times.  Usually only the last use on a particular line will be flagged as misspelled.  This is a bit fiddly -- you have to do it just right to see the effect.

Also note the Summary field in this very bug report.  The misspelling is NOT highlighted, yet when the SAME text is copied to Details, it is.

OS=ALL

also, changing any of the text that isn't being checked causes speller to check it.

At least in Thunderbird I still can reproduce the STR from comment 0. Not sure if that makes it a "Thunderbird only" bug, though. Or is this more a "DOM: Editor" thing?

I guess this is more an editor thing. But Thunderbird could of course itself also force re-spell checking.
